Country Emperors, have you decided?
Lonemoon smiled sly as a fox. He hurried them, saying,
This immortal spring is going to disappear very soon. If you’ve decided, please send your sect’s disciples to claim the elixirs. Why not… we start from Country Emperor Yu?
He turned to face the man closest to him.
Yu Cang was caught off guard. Yet, he did not dare to decline Lonemoon. Holding back the urge to vomit blood, he turned back to glance at the man behind him. Clenching his fists, he gestured to the person on his right.
You… go!
Indeed, everyone else immediately lowered their gaze.
Once Yu Cang took the lead, the other country emperors began to select their own Exalted Immortals. Within seconds, 15 people were standing apart from the rest. The atmosphere was different now. Apart from the fifteen excited immortals standing apart from the crowd, the other exalted immortals looked disappointed, or confused or indignant.
Lonemoon flicked his wrist and immediately cast a water-elemental seal. 15 different streams of water flowed out from the immortal spring, culminating into 15 different elixirs. The elixirs flew toward the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes twinkled. The 15 immortals reached out to catch the elixirs and swallowed them.



The elixir will need three days to fully take effect. When you go back, please remember to isolate yourselves first.

The group nodded. The audience on the viewing stage all had clearly different expressions on their faces by now. One of the more polite exalted immortals stepped forward toward Yi Qing and Lonemoon, bowed and said,
Thank you, Celestial Emperor. Thank you Fellow Immortal Father Niu!

With that, the others seemed to be triggered to follow suit. One by one, they bowed toward Yi Qing and Lonemoon.

Thank you, Celestial Emperor! Thank you, Fellow Immortal Father Niu!
exclaimed 14 other voices.
Lonemoon,
…

Yi Qing:
…

Shen Ying,
…

The disciples of Invincible Sect:
…

Lonemoon pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, saying,
My name is Lonemoon!
Dumbos – how dare you call me Father Niu as well!
凸(艹皿艹)


All of them changed the way they addressed Lonemoon and thanked him once again.
Now that the elixirs had been consumed, the various country emperors had no intention to stay any longer. Yu Cang, in particular, hurriedly took his leave the moment the immortal spring disappeared. The other country emperors followed suit. One by one, they rushed back to their homes. It was probably because they wanted to go back and appease the exalted immortals who had not been selected, lest they made a scene on the spot.
Lonemoon did not attempt to keep them any longer as well. He allowed them to take their leave. Very quickly, they would discover that the people to be truly wary of were those who consumed the elixirs, and not those who did not.
The various countries of the Bo Sea would likely be in a mess for a long while. Perhaps they would be fighting among themselves to become the emperor?
╮(╯▽╰)╭
An hour later, the immortal spring was completely gone. The only people left behind were the hosts – people from Invincible Sect. Lonemoon turned and instructed everyone to pack up and go home.
Shen Ying, we’re going back!


We haven’t even done what we wanted to, and we’re going home?
Shen Ying suddenly jumped down from the viewing stage and faced him. She walked toward the field and circled the place where the immortal spring had been just moments ago. In a low voice, she said,
This is just the beginning.


What do you mean?
Lonemoon hesitated.

Master, have you discovered something?
Yi Qing could not help but ask.
Shen Ying looked at them strangely. A moment later, she hesitantly answered,
Have your five senses failed you? Don’t you feel that something is amiss?



The two of them stiffened. Trying their best to ignore the hidden attacks in her words, they asked,
Are you saying there’s something wrong with the immortal spring?


Half-half.
Shen Ying frowned.
There’s nothing wrong with the back, but the path it took seemed to be a little messed up. I’m not sure of the exact reason for that. I don’t have enough strength, so I would need two of you to quickly bring us back to that time when it was being formed. I need to confirm this again.


What?
Lonemoon asked.
Bring us back?


Yes, in time-
Shen Ying suddenly paused. She turned to scan them from head to toe.
You don’t know how?

They exchanged a look and shook their heads.

Then how about spatial reproduction?


…
What’s that?

Position restoration?


…
What restoration?


You at least know about local reset, don’t you?




…
Huh?
Shen Ying’s expression turned to ice. Suddenly, she felt like her two assistants were severely lacking in some basic knowledge.Indeed, they were newbies! Afterall, she had trained for a long time before she discovered all of these for herself as well. Mm, I should inspire some initiative on their part to learn these things for themselves. Thus, she stepped forward and emphasized each word as she said,
What do you know how to use?

Lonemoon,
…

Yi Qing:
…

She was beginning to get exasperated.

Master, apart from those… techniques that you mentioned, are there other ways we can figure out the reason?
Yi Qing asked seriously.
Shen Ying stared at him. As if she recalled something, she cast her eyes to the side and said,
I just felt like something was amiss earlier. I can’t be sure if I don’t look closer into it. The only way is for me to look at it once more.


Look at it once more…
Yi Qing thought of an idea and his eyes widened. He exchanged a look with Lonemoon beside him. Together, they said,
The Phantom technique!

Lonemoon immediately regulated his immortal Qi, getting ready to perform the technique. A moment later, ripples appeared in their surroundings, as if they were in water. Phantoms began to appear all around them. They were now back to how things looked like an hour ago.
The Phantom technique was a kind of sorcery that was often used for investigation purposes. It would use the remnant auras in the surroundings to create an unreal image, so that people would be allowed to view everything that happened in the past. As long as no one was deliberately hiding facts, people would be able to see everything that happened within the past three days.


The image of the immortal spring appeared before the three of them once again. In order for them to get a closer look, Lonemoon conjured an array to to turn the space into an illusory realm. Everything suddenly became much clearer. It was almost like this was happening in the present moment.
A huge amount of immortal Qi gathered toward the center in the illusory realm, creating a white fog. Shen Ying quickly opened her screen and began operating on it. Suddenly, a bunch of data appeared before her.
The immortal Qi was becoming thicker and richer. Since they were standing in the middle, everything around them began to look foggy. The immortal Qi seemed to be condensing into something. A familiar white light flashed across them, causing the immortal Qi to become part of the spring.

I found it! That’s it!
Shen Ying suddenly exclaimed.
Lonemoon broke the array and caused the phantoms to disappear.
What’s the matter?

Shen Ying tapped on her screen. An image appeared in front of the two assistants. It was a picture of the white light. It resembled lightning. In the middle of the white light, upon closer inspection, they saw a faint blue.
What was that?

It’s a crack in the layers of the plane!
Shen Ying explained.
In that split second, an internal transmission passage appeared.


Internal?
Lonemoon paused. Internal transmission passage. Didn’t that mean…
It was a realm gate!
He started and turned to look at Chef beside him. Both of them were thinking of the exact same thing.

Chef, try to detect the immortal spring’s aura from earlier on. Re-open the realm gate that led to this place!


Yes.
Yi Qing nodded. He closed his eyes and conjured a seal with both of his hands. Soon, an array appeared underneath their feet. Within seconds, the surroundings began to twist and turn once again. A crack appeared in the air. It slowly expanded, causing a mix of other auras to flow in.
There was immortal Qi and… spirit Qi!
The three of them stared blankly at the realm gate. It was different from the other realm gates they saw that linked the mortal and divine realms. It was neither glowing black nor white. Instead, this realm gate was glowing blue!
Where exactly… did this realm gate lead to?
